WHY NEC?
From a B-School
to an E-School
LEAD College believes a business school should produce job creators, not just job seekers. NEC is part of LEAD’s larger move from a B-School to an E-School, where students are encouraged to build ventures while they study. Starting a business in India now has strong support from government, institutions and industry. NEC turns that support into a clear, guided path for young people who want to build a business.
